Looking into Volpe’s 2025 stats, he had a total of 101 at-bats, of which he scored 5 home runs, and achieved 17 RBI. To top it off, his stats started changing spontaneously, thanks to his recent switch in performance.

In a stretch of 13 consecutive games, the quality of Anthony Volpe’s at-bats degraded each day, to the point of unplayability by the end of the stretch.

Then with the off-day on Thursday and Saturday, his AB quality has immediately 180’d.

Shocking developments.

His recent performance improved his batting average to .228, OBP to .325, and OPS to .771, which is a marvelous improvement. However, what remains to be seen is whether Anthony will be able to continue this hitting streak or drop it after his birthday month ends.
